Bohemian composer. His father was mayor of Dobřany. From about 1717 to
1720 Brentner lived in Prague, where he published several of his works.
He seems to have been connected with the religious brotherhood of St
Nicholas in the Malá Strana, Prague, for which he wrote his German
mourning motets. His Offertoria solenniora op.2 was dedicated to his
patron Raymund Wilfert, abbot of the Premonstratensian monastery at
Teplá. Brentner’s music is in late Baroque concerto style, with
occasional simple songlike motifs. Many of his arias are in da capo
form, and those of Hymnodia divina are remarkable for their concertante
treatment of accompanying solo instruments, especially the violin.
Brentner’s works continued to be performed at the monastery at Strahov,
Prague, until the 1840s.
